Good work SeekandFind.

This is the 16th study showing positive results for IVM when used as a prophylactic. No study has ever shown it to worsen outcomes. It is ridiculous we don’t use it here.

Good information, thanks.

The researcher, Scott Alexander, posted on 11/17/21 his review of available studies on ivmetta.com at:

https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/ivermectin-much-more-than-you-wanted

His conclusions:

“Ivermectin doesn’t reduce mortality in COVID a significant amount (let’s say d > 0.3) in the absence of comorbid parasites: 85-90% confidence”

“Parasitic worms are a significant confounder in some ivermectin studies, such that they made them get a positive result even when honest and methodologically sound: 50% confidence”

“Fraud and data processing errors are of similar magnitude to p-hacking and methodological problems in explaining bad studies (95% confidence interval for fraud: between >1% and 5% as important as methodological problems; 95% confidence interval for data processing errors: between 5% and 100% as important)”

Good reading and he is clear that he is not anti-Ivermectin - everyone makes their own decision. Props to him for going through all the available studies at the time of the post.
